Automotive innovation is at the core of what makes our world go round, pushing design, performance and efficiency limits constantly. But beyond all this glitzy exteriors and cutting-edge tech lies an unseen obstacle: data management.
Modern automotive manufacturing companies must manage massive amounts of data – from intricate CAD designs and supplier specifications, BOMs and regulatory requirements, and bill of materials (BOM) lists – effectively. However, managing this information effectively often presents several barriers:
Data Silos: Information can easily become trapped within departmental systems, impeding collaboration and leading to inconsistencies between engineering work on outdated specifications and production searching for an updated BOM. Communications breakdowns and errors become all-too-familiar scenarios.
Data Complexity: Automotive data can be complex, including everything from 3D models with millions of facets to supplier requirements that may have multiple requirements and processes. Manually organizing, searching and analyzing such an enormous volume of information leads to inefficiency and missed opportunities for optimization.
Compliance Challenges: Manufacturers face ever-evolving regulations and safety standards that require their data to comply. Manually tracking compliance across large datasets increases errors and could delay business.
